I tend to worry about things that have not happened yet.
Things that may not even happen.
I let it all fester and compound until I'm a nervous wreck and I feel quite helpless.
That's not a fun way to feel!
I joke that I have "rich white girl" syndrome. I'm gainfully employed, educated, healthy, and have a wonderful family and network of friends to rely on if need be.
I can support myself, have an adequate amount of free time, and more hobbies to keep me entertained than I can even count.
Really - what do I have to complain about? I have it better than the majority of the world's population.
So for the next week I'm going to try my hardest to keep my trap shut if I don't have something positive to say.
Couldn't hurt, right?
Hey chick,
ReplyDeleteI do exactly the same and i hate it. It consumes me. I know its all about changing my thinking (which i am always doing) cos if i continue to be negative then i attract more negative. I try to visualise good things happening rather than focusing on things that havent happened, as the bad things will manifest if i dont stop the thoughts. Good for you on taking this challenge.
Thank you for those kind words :)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely an active, daily choice (happiness anyways). Once you realize you have the power to make that choice, the rest is fairly easy to accomplish!
[although life does it's best to sidetrack me!]
